> US President Donald Trump’s defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, could face an impeachment vote in the House. A Republican lawmaker accuses him of waging war against Iran without congressional approval. The move follows Republicans’ crushing midterm defeat, in which voter anger over the Iran conflict played a major role. Trump continues to back Hegseth, but some Republicans are breaking ranks.
